Cool Springs Plastic Surgery
A mommy makeover combines multiple procedures to address the most common physical changes after pregnancy, typically including a tummy tuck (with abdominal muscle repair), breast augmentation or breast lift (or both), and often liposuction of the flanks or thighs. Each mommy makeover at Cool Springs Plastic Surgery in Brentwood, TN is fully customized — Dr. Moore or Dr. Sarosiek tailors the combination of procedures to your specific concerns and aesthetic goals during consultation.
Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting at least 6-12 months after delivery before having a mommy makeover. You should have stopped breastfeeding for at least 3-6 months, returned to your stable post-pregnancy weight, and feel physically and emotionally ready for surgery and recovery. CSPS evaluates each patient individually — Dr. Moore and Dr. Sarosiek will help you determine the right timing based on your body’s healing and your family planning.
Yes, this is strongly recommended. Pregnancy after a mommy makeover can stretch the abdominal skin and muscles, potentially reversing tummy tuck results. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can also affect breast augmentation or lift outcomes. While future pregnancy doesn’t pose health risks after a mommy makeover, it can compromise your aesthetic results. CSPS counsels patients to complete their family before pursuing a mommy makeover for the most lasting outcome.
Most mommy makeover patients take 2 weeks off work, return to light activity around 4 weeks, and resume full exercise around 6-8 weeks. Because multiple procedures heal simultaneously, recovery feels more involved than a single surgery — but combining procedures means one recovery period instead of multiple. CSPS provides detailed post-op support including follow-up appointments at our Brentwood TN center and a dedicated care team available throughout your healing.
Yes, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility, combining mommy makeover procedures is safe for healthy candidates. Surgical time is typically 4-6 hours, and the combined approach often produces better aesthetic results because procedures complement each other. Dr. Moore and Dr. Sarosiek at CSPS evaluate medical history, BMI, and overall health during consultation to confirm you’re a safe candidate for combined procedures.
You should not lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for the first 4-6 weeks after a mommy makeover, and absolutely no lifting children during the initial recovery period. This is one of the most important pre-surgery planning considerations for moms — arranging help with young children for at least 2-4 weeks is essential. CSPS provides a full recovery preparation guide so you can plan childcare, meals, and household help in advance.
There’s no single best age — the right timing depends on whether you’re done having children, your body has stabilized after pregnancy, and you’re physically and emotionally ready. Most CSPS mommy makeover patients are between 30 and 50 years old. Younger patients should typically wait until they’re confident their family is complete. Older patients can be excellent candidates as long as they’re in good general health.
Mommy makeover results are long-lasting and often permanent when patients maintain a stable weight, don’t have additional pregnancies, and follow a healthy lifestyle. Skin will continue to age naturally, but the structural improvements from tummy tuck and breast surgery typically endure for many years. Some patients return to CSPS for non-surgical maintenance treatments (like Botox or filler) over time to refresh their overall appearance.
Women often struggle with their body confidence after having children. The myriad of changes to the breasts, abdomen, and overall frame during pregnancy make it challenging to achieve a pre-baby figure through diet and exercise alone.
At Cool Springs Plastic Surgery, Dr. John Moore and Dr. Konrad Sarosiek offer a transformative opportunity to achieve flatter, firmer results with a Mommy Makeover in Nashville. This personalized approach combines multiple procedures to address excess skin, stretched abdominal muscles, and stubborn fat, allowing you to reclaim your confidence and your body.
A Mommy Makeover combines multiple plastic surgery procedures performed to restore a pre-pregnancy body shape. These procedures typically include breast surgery, such as breast augmentation and/or breast lift, abdominoplasty, and liposuction. However, mommy makeover is unique to each patient and is tailored to address individual concerns.
Procedure details vary by patient, depending on the type and number of plastic surgeries. The tummy tuck portion of the mommy makeover removes excess skin and fat from the upper and lower abdomen surgically. The abdominal muscles tend to stretch and weaken or separate during pregnancy (known as diastasis recti), and tummy tuck tightens these muscles for a flatter stomach. Abdominoplasty can often remove stretch marks beneath the belly button, but those above the navel will remain (though they will be lower in the abdomen).
The breast surgery portion of a mommy makeover may involve breast augmentation with implants, breast lift or breast reduction. Each procedure is tailored to address specific concerns such as restoring lost volume, removing excess skin and sagging breast tissue and elevating the bust to a more youthful location. Our surgical team works to conceal incision lines where they can be easily hidden under a swimsuit top or bra.
Liposuction removes stubborn pockets of fat in the abdomen and may address other fat-ridden body areas during a mommy makeover. Our plastic surgeons use inconspicuous incisions to insert a cannula to break up and remove fat cells. Liposuction alone won’t improve sagging skin, which is why it’s regularly paired with tummy tuck and other body procedures for the best results.
Women with children, especially young children, have very little free time. The most significant benefit of mommy makeover is a streamlined process and healing with a combination procedure and a single recovery. Separating breast and body plastic surgeries means going under general anesthesia multiple times and taking several weeks off from work or away from children after each procedure.
Mothers can reach their pre-pregnancy body shape quicker with mommy makeover surgery, allowing them to resume activities and a regular schedule without another procedure on the horizon. Women tend to choose mommy makeovers so they can enjoy their results sooner.
